As strong environmental leaders, approximately 100 Leamington District Secondary School students joined millions globally by holding a School Strike for Climate on Friday, Sept. 27 from 10:15-11:30 at the school on Oak Street. Banners and signs and chants were created for the event.
LDSS participates in School Strike for Climate By Sheila McBrayne
Leamington District Secondary School joined the global Strike for Climate movement by organizing a school strike. The strike held in front of LDSS started at 10:15 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 27 with approximately 100 students and local residents participating. “We are protesting to demand action. Since we can’t vote — we’re not old enough — in order to make change we held the strike so our voices can be heard,” said Grade 10 Minister of Enviroment (Student Parliament)
Krystal Robinson. The Climate Strike was led by Student Parliament Prime Minister and Eco Team member Fumi Malott. The LDSS EcoTeam is planning to organize a Climate Summit with guest speakers. A date has not been set. Robinson stated that each individual can make a difference. “It can be as easy as using less single use plastics, reducing waste and recycling properly,” stated Robinson. In attendance to show support was Leamington Councillor Tim Wilkinson, Greater Windsor District School Board Trustee Aimee
Omstead, federal election candidate Katie Omstead, Katie Stammler of ERCA and several community members. Although unable to attend, Mayor Hilda MacDonald sent a message that was read aloud: “Wishing you a successful day today. I wish I could have been there. For my generation.... in our haste for convenience, we forgot the environment.” “Having the support of leaders of all levels of government is crucial in solving the climate crisis,” stated Malott.
